What a good and useful skill it is to learn to “knit from the far side”. I have used this technique to ensure my colourwork floats are not too tight for small circumferences eg: mittens. And the 3 needle bind off works well for the top of the mitten as well. Once again, Roxanne, a big thank you for this excellent technique.

Thanks for this tuto, I suppose I will have to try that bind off for myself, I have a very sensitive daughter, and I guess she would find the Three-Needle Bind Off less comfortable. I usually knit my socks 2 at a time toe up, but there might be some occasions for this technique. Anyways, I always love to learn alternatives. Thanks.

I really like that you promote an option to the Kitchener-type toe closures. When I started knitting socks about 6 months ago, the toe closure was my nightmare. I determined, more by luck than judgement, that a three needle bind off should be doable. That said, I have a slightly different method from yours of swapping the work to inside out. I simply thread two of my smallest 25cm circular needles through each side of the toe stitches [with the long needle end of the needle on the yarn outside], bend the needle cable and pop the needles through the toe opening and downwards. I then insert a hand into the sock, grab both ends of of both needles and pull through. The advantage of this is that one then has stitches on two needles, ready for bind off. I do use a needle size bigger than that used for the sock as a whole, for my working needle, as I seem to knit a wee bit too tight.

i’ve been doing this for years! it seems to horrify a lot of knitters but i swear i can only feel it on days when i am sensitive enough that i can feel each individual purl bump anyway. over time it felts down nicely and becomes totally smooth. i’ve also tried it on an after thought heel once and thought that one was a little uncomfortable even after a lot of wear. (also, i knit my socks on two circulars, which means i don’t have to grab an extra needle for the bind off. very convenient)

I still love a darning needle-free Kitchener/graft for socks, but I love the outcome of 3 needle bind-offs in other applications…the number of times I have executed it without actual binding-off, though… 😂🤦🏻♀️

No, that's a variation of the 3NBO, which produces parallel BO chains.

I wonder why socks never seem to matcho how feet actually are shaped? If the big toe is at the furthest point, but the sock has the middle toes at the furthest point, doesn't that make for wearing the sock at the big toe, or having a lot of extra material in the front? Hand knit socks seem to reflect shoe shape, not foot shape?
@RoxanneRichardson
Ай бұрын
Hand knit socks are not unique in having symmetrical toes. Commercially knit sock toes are symmetrical, too. Knitted fabric stretches and conforms to the shape of the toe. Some feet have more extreme toe shapes than others, which means the toes can be modified in ways that are still symmetrical, but conform to an individual person's feet better than whatever the standard formula is for that toe (e.g. longer, shorter, wider, etc.)

@@RoxanneRichardson I'm specifically referring to the center point. None of my wool commercially knitted socks have that point, but are flat across the end.

I tried knitting my socks with a short row toe. I'd rather use the three needle bind off for that than grafting. That said though I do find it a bit uncomfortable in shoes. The socks are fine by themselves though.

I imagine comfort depends on not just whether the person has sensitive skin, but whether the shoe is pressing against the area where the seam is.

@@RoxanneRichardson The seam ends up on top of the toes. The issue I have is the awkward corners I get at the ends of the seam. I'm still learning. I might try to flip it so the seam fits under the toes and see if that's better for me.

Yes, that's one of two alternative grafting methods I mentioned. I gave the Finchley graft its name several years ago, when I found it in The Finchley Manuals of Industry, No. 4, published in 1852. I provided a link to that video down in the video description.

Work them as p2tog (purl the first stitch of each needle together), rather than as k2tog, if that's easier.
